Wage Pact Ends Rail Shopcraft Strike Threat
A wage deal for 48 000 shopcraft workers ends a possible nationwide rail shutdown after 20 hours of bargaining.

Ratification by four unions is needed, but officials expect approval and note the agreement reduces inflation pressure and avoids federal intervention.
